Recycling centers in Elizabeth

All American Alloys buys copper, aluminum, brass, stainless steel, and steel at 200 South First Street in Elizabeth, just off I-95 by the Goethals Bridge. The yard also takes computer boards, junk cars and truck tops, and rooftop HVAC units. It weighs on certified digital scales and offers dumpster, demolition, and machinery dismantling services.

Bayway Scrap Metals sits under the Goethals Bridge at 645 Amboy Ave. in Elizabeth and has operated since 1982. Homeowners with buckets of scrap and contractors with truckloads both sell here for cash. The yard takes copper, brass, stainless steel, insulated wire, cast iron, radiators, aluminum siding, and car batteries, but not kegs or propane tanks.

The Elizabeth Recycling Center at 523 Trenton Avenue takes electronic waste from Elizabeth residents seven days a week. Union County lists Saturday and Sunday hours of 8 am to 4 pm. Residents must live in the town to use the municipal e-waste program.
